Geraint Williams, Information Risk
Consultant and Trainer for IT Governance Ltd and an Honorary Visiting
Fellow at the University of Bedfordshire, will be speaking at Bedford
College on the evening of Thursday 28 June. This is part
of the continuing programme of free evening lectures organised by the
Computing Department at Bedford College in partnership with the local
Bedford branch of the British Computer Society (BCS).

The
success of forensics-based dramas like CSI, Numb3rs, and NCIS has
ensured there is no shortage
of applicants to study forensics. Hollywood and its public are
enamoured by the apparently supernatural potency of the discipline. The
"CSI effect" has given the public and particularly some members of
juries inflated expectations of computer forensic analysis.
This talk looks at Hollywood and the TV interpretation of digital
forensics and gives an insight into how it is really done.

Geraint will be speaking at Bedford College Studio Theatre on Thursday 28 June between 6.30 and 8.00pm,
and this again promises to be an incredibly informative and enjoyable evening.

The data was analysed using the software VOSviewer - http://www.vosviewer.com/ free software for visualising networks. Differences in colours represents, the clusters of publications with those authors picked out by the software. The relative size of the circles is the relative number of publications listed; so for the two biggest circles/hubs it relates to 55 and 34 publications in this time period. Some relatively new authors, to the University but not to research, explains some of the 'islands' and the number of publications within it - it only reflects publications whilst at the University of Northampton.

To dig a little deeper, going to look at the two biggest 'hubs' through their NECTAR records, so potentially going …

A computing lecturer at the University of Northampton, who is researching into how the efficiency of our everyday devices, such as mobile phones, can be improved, has been awarded the best paper at two recent conferences.
Dr Michael Opoku Agyeman has written several journal papers focusing on how the next generation of technology can meet the ever increasing demands from consumers. He was invited to present his work at the 19th Euromicro Conference on Digital System Design in Cyprus and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers’ 14th International Conference in Paris.
Part of his research concentrates on whether several processing elements can be incorporated on a single chip, known as System-On-Chip, to improve the efficiency and speed of the computing systems that we use every day, from mobile phones to video-game consoles and even medical equipment…
